TBM9 Panel lighting

[sho69607]

does the TBM9 not have background panel lighting like other aircraft? The only lighting options I can see are the button lights and the access light. I'm assuming the real aircraft is the same?

the dial on the overhead (left side) is for panel backlighting

I guess he means some sort of indirect light. Maybe the bulps on the roof, which arent adjustable in intensity yet. Think we have discussed this on discord a while back @Goran_M

With the current light setup it's really hard to sport some switches at night (especially ECS and Anti-Ice). For the time I turn on the cabin light and illuminate to far back roof light spots. This gives a bet light casting onto the panel, making some switches better to bee seen.

I've been working on the switches some more, to keep them black, but also visible.  They'll be in an upcoming update.

Don't forget you have the flashlight in the View menu. That's what we used in the real cockpit at night.

I think it will be easier to fly with a dark cockpit once the update to dim the displays comes out. Thanks for the input guys.
